My Internet Explorer used to display customized icons in
the favorites window on the left hand side of the screen,
but now they are gone and do not show up when I replace
(overwrite) them. What is wrong and how can I fix this?
Thanks a ton!

Hi Nikki - These are known as favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) and they
normally will only last until your Internet Explorer Temp files are cleared.

You need to get a program called FavOrg 1.4 here:

or Version 1.2 here:

http://www.themes.myqth.com/Downloads/favorg.zip

(still free at these links) which will allow you to save them permanently
in a different folder and re-associate your favorites with the stored icons.
(It will also verify whether your links in Favorites are stll good, BTW.)

I have my own favicons placed in my own website and they did show perfectly
in the past; they still do in Netscape 7.0 but no longer in IE6 ! I delete
all my favorites and put new ones, but my favicon never reappears in IE !
